Tuesday's Update on Graysen

Graysen is doing well today. He is resting, as usual. The ultrasound on his hip was normal. The next step is to do x-rays on his knee and get an orthopedic consult. This is to make sure that the problem is not with his knee.

We are tentitively planning on the heart surgery occuring on Thursday. We should be able to meet with the surgeon tomorrow. He will finalize the date and which surgery he will perform. Most likely, he will only do the partial fix at this time because Graysen weighs under 3 kg. That means that they will perform a second surgery sometime between 6 months - 1 year to complete the fix of his heart.

Hi Lee,

Found out this morning that congratulations are in order! I stopped by Ilene's desk and she told me and forwarded your blog URL.

Wanted to wish you well with the new arrival and let you know that Graysen and your family are in my families' thoughts and prayers.
